it. The owner of the garage disclosed that one Ataul Rahman has sent the vehicle for maintenance. Petitioner is the owner of the vehicle who talks through his mobile no. 6206848767. When the documents were demanded, the garage owner could not show the documents of the vehicle. It is further alleged that Ataul Rahman disclosed that this Scorpio was sent by Kundan Kumar and one Harse. When the petitioner was asked regarding the Scorpio, he disclosed that one Pintu Kumar has given him the Scorpio.

¶16

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. From perusal of the F.I.R. it is clear that though there is allegation that the petitioner has handed over the vehicle to the garage for maintenance but from perusal of the F.I.R. it is clear that the vehicle does not belong to him rather it was handed over to him by Pintu. It has further been submitted that petitioner is not the person who has given the vehicle to the garage and actually the same belongs to Pintu. Petitioner is a student and he is languishing in judicial custody since 07.01.2026.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is
